It brings back memories of living in a boat and I prefer to watch Robbie Cumming rather than Pru and Tim.
At least with Robbie you can see how hard some of the locks are to handle. You can see the effort he has to put in to opening some of the locks gates and he's a young man. For me as a 70 year old woman it was bloody difficult.
With Pru and Tim they had two crewed boats that travelled with them. This made it all look so easy, obviously it made for good tv ratings.
Today I'm making chocolate brownies , there is a Macmillan coffee morning tomorrow in the summer house. The chocolate brownies are my contribution towards it. There is a craft sale on too so I will buy another couple of lavender bags.

David from Cruising the Cut still posts canal related content even though he is a land lubber now. The Narrow Boat Pirate is entertaining. Laura Jane has a new pink narrowboat. I like watching their antics, even though I have never been on one.
I agree, Robbie is great fun to watch. We always take bets on what's going to fall into the canal this episode :)

I love lavender bags for hanging in my clothes closets and also tucked in my sock and undie drawers. In my tiny garden I have three old and hardy lavender plants that are cut back in late fall and spring forth in early spring to bloom all summer long.
I also enjoy Canal boat diaries and I always think of you as I watch. How on earth did you manage in those last few years?
I could not live on a canal boat. I was always amazed at how you made it work for so long.
